I'll be posting tomorrow...so you guys are into HOURS now...no more days or weeks! Yeehah!!! Evil BOM Host, Melissa in NJ grinning wildly -- Pics of My Quilts: http://community.webshots.com/user/quiltngryhndlady

Got them done - Did anyone else have a problem with the pieced block? The last seam was really bulky in the center where all the points meet so I pressed the seam open. Also my block came out way smaller than it should but I just plan to add the light color around the outside to make it match the...

Google won't let me answer the original message because it's too old! I've just now READ the old message! Uh, just a little behind in life. .. . . Thank you for the link -- http://www.patchpieces.com/Flyinggeese.html. I too will put it in the guild newsletter or as a link on our website. Many...

NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to the April blocks and skip the background info, April's blocks are at the very end of this post. Melissa in NJ ========================================= ======================= RCTQ BOM Background Info: ======================= How this BOM works is that I post...

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Apriliters Happy Birthday to you AND especially for the gal who does celebrate her HB today : ) Butterfly (I didn't forget--today's HB always reminds me of DD's dear friend she met in 4th grade)

Like so many of you, I entered the AQS contest on their website. I read the rules and entry carefully, and did NOT give them permission to send me marketing stuff. Naturally, I just got my third unsolicited email from them. Grrrrr...... -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric...

This is a message I got sent to me from American Quilter's Association about a new bill that might be passed. I thought some of you might be interested. It is about filing your taxes and what you can claim as donations. Here it is Artists Fair Market Deduction Act

I was going to state 'NAYY', but I am a member of the American Quilter's Society, so maybe I *am* affiliated??? Any way, I just bought SEVEN quilting books- including shipping- for less than $30!!! There's a nice selection of quilting books on sale- one about making quilted books and...

I am so excited....The raffle quilt from our little guild (only 50-ish members), Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Marshfield WI, has our quilt published in the 2009 AQS calendar.. It is the January quilt....One of our guild members brought the calendar to Sew-n-Tell on Monday, so we were able to see it...

Here is a link to the photo of our guild raffle quilt that was published in the AQS calendar, the January "pin-up". The anme is Country Charm....Can you tell I am excited? It's like giving birth! http://mauvice-mauvicesmaterialmemories.blogspot.com/

Any of you Iowa (or other) gals know if they have set a place for the Des Moines AQS Show? -- Charlotte http://community.webshots.com/user/charh108

Checked my entry in the above mentioned contest (entry #1079) and it has me listed as Bronwyn Ferrier, Alabama instead of Australia! When I filled in the online entry form, I had difficulty in getting it to accept Australia as a country instead of a US state. Have just emailed them to see if...

AQS is once again sponsoring an online quilt contest. I suspect I've been very silly, but I did enter a quilt this time, and I'm hoping for more than one vote, since the winners (and whiners G) will be determined by viewers alone -- no official judges. If you'd like to see which quilt I...

Has anyone entered a quilt online in this contest? It seemed like a great idea - particularly for non US residents - to show our work without paying huge freight charges etc. I entered my "Dancing Lights in Indigo Night" quilt, paid my US$10, it was accepted, is displayed online and now I am...

Just wondering what the difference in the two shows is? I would go to Padukah again this year, but the date is not convenient so I'm thinking of going to the Nashville instead. Yvette

I am an author with the American Quilter's Society and received notice that they will be showing a series on TV featuring authors and their work on a cable station. My book is "Rhyme Time Blocks". I don't even know if I'll be featured and I won't be able to see it. :( No cable. It starts January...

Is anyone going to the quilt show in DesMoines tomorrow through Saturday? I'll be there Wed-Fri. I hope there are some great quilts. Well...of course there will be....any quilt show has great quilts!!! -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz

Do any of you plan to visit the AQS Show in Nashville next week? My wife and I go to have a nice week-end escape that's only 80 miles from home. The hotel gardens and waterfalls make just a peaceful atmosphere and getting to see a lot of great quilts, fabrics, and quilting gadgets is just icing...

We're trying to decide whether to drive to Paducah on Saturday of the show. We can't go any other day cuz DDH is substitute teaching all that week. Is there a meet-up planned for Sat.? That will most likely be our deciding factor. Anybody??? Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
